I always thought that drafts are supposed to be measured 5-10 years after the fact since none of these guys have played a game yet so I never understood why analysts give a draft grade the night after a draft.

What would you think if you were EG3 and the Redskins use a luxury pick on a QB like Cousins while they have pressing needs throughout the team. I just watched the press conference of RG3 addressing the Washington DC reporters for the first time and one of the first questions dealt with the drafting of Cousins. I think it is a ridiculous pick. The Redskins remember 1994, when Gus Frerotte ended up being a better QB than Heath Shuler.

Yep, there's that too. Again, always good to have an insurance policy.

One of the things they do is a draft recap. It was interesting to see how many guys from later rounds made nice careers for themselves and how many pundits were wrong on many bigger names. Meaning you are spot on. I think three years is good enough. Odds are if a guy has not made much of an impact by then odds are he never will.

Bump for the Trent Richardson draft, which is funny now that I called it the worst move of the night but had no idea he would ever be as bad as he is.
